You create tasks via e-mail to avoid forgetting important ideas. Often you don’t have time to set up the deadline for it, so you take the risk of shelving the task. We applied a tiny change in Wrike to help you get tasks done much faster.
All tasks created via e-mail now receive a default due date marked as tomorrow if you don’t set it explicitly. Therefore a reminder about the task will soon appear on the dashboard, and you will get a chance to reschedule or mark the task completed.
Occasionally we write blog posts where multiple people contribute. Since our idea of having a gladiator arena where contributors would fight to the death to win total authorship wasn’t approved by HR, this was the compromise.
It’s addictively simple to use, and unites the initial task with your e-mail conversations.
Let’s say a colleague asks you to resolve an issue. He CCs this e-mail to [email protected]. Then, you comment on the situation by using “Reply to all.”
If you leave [email protected] among the recipients of the initial email, the task description will be updated in Wrike. If you add files and pictures to the e-mail response, they will be attached to the task as well. If you include third parties in the To/CC fields, the Wrike task will also be shared with them.
Now, when you decide to go back to the task in Wrike and work on it directly, you will see its updated state and waste no more time trying to recall what you previously discussed with your colleauges.
Stay tuned! Later, we'll be applying these rules to replying to email notifications.

Make Email Notifications Specific to Your Interests
Love staying on top of task updates, but wondering how to tailor your email notifications for specific changes in the tasks you follow? Now you can change your email notification settings to suit your individual needs and monitor only the updates you care about.
How is this useful? Say you're on the marketing team and need to publish a blog post (such as this one!) once the text has been finalized. Your cue to jump in is when the copywriter has been unassigned from the task. So you may not need to know when the task description is revised by the copywriters, but you do need to know when the assignees change. In this case, uncheck the "Description changed" notification and leave the box for "Assignees changed" marked.
To adjust your email notification settings, go to the "Email addresses" tab of your profile settings. Check or uncheck the notification boxes to customize the info that lands in your inbox.
Email notifications you can opt in or out of:
Task or folder created
Comments added
Task status changed
Task description changed
Task dates changed
Task moved to another folder
New task assigned/Assignees changed
This new feature is available for all Wrike users, from Freemium to Enterprise. Because everyone deserves a cleaner inbox.
